How back can we go with this little island? Back to Phoenicians
“We reclaim historical vineyards by reviving the Wine of the Phoenicians.”
In 2007, the Whitaker Foundation entrusted the Tasca d’Almerita family with the task of restoring and nurturing the historic Grillo vineyards on the island of Mozia, a tiny spit of land opposite the salt pans of Marsala.
Small as it is, the island has always had been inclined toward winemaking, both because of the particular characteristics of the soil and because of the rather surprising microclimate. The surrounding lagoon generates a noticeable thermal reversal during the hottest months, allowing for preservations of aromatic characteristics developed by the plants during the day.
